Can Your PC Survive The Horror That Is The Evil Within?
After the news of the game going gold, Bethesda has gone ahead and revealed the recommended requirements for PC via their official blog. Unfortunately there are no minimum requirements available at the moment, so these are all you’ll have to estimate your performance with.
There is one thing however, that is tugging on me, and that is the game’s expensive 4GB Vram requirements. I honestly hope that it isn’t due to optimization issues but instead due to crisp textures the game will come with, hopefully enough to justify playing at a 4k resolution. If that is the case, then PC gamers should be well excited for this.
The game will release for the PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on the 14th of October. Create your own special edition pack by buying diapers alongside it.
The PC requirements and Console install space requirements are as follows:
Recommended PC System Specifications
- 64-bit Windows 7/Windows 8 i7 with four plus cores
- 4 GBs RAM
- 50 GB of hard drive space*
- GeForce GTX 670 or equivalent with 4GBs of VRAM

*It’s worth noting that the 50 GB of space required is for the PC install. When the installation is complete, the game will take up ~41 GB of HDD space.
- Xbox One — 40 GB HDD Space
